Previous LaundryCares Events

Free Laundry Day in Las Vegas

Along with a large team of volunteer laundry professionals, the LaundryCares Foundation helped nearly 90 families in 105-degree weather to wash nearly 12,000 lbs. of laundry. Additionally, this event featured free burgers and hot dogs grilled in the store’s parking lot, a DJ, storytelling and face-painting for the kids, bike giveaways and more.

Free Laundry Day in Chicago

The Laundry Project and LaundryCares Foundation teamed up on Saturday, September 24th at Su Nueva Lavanderia to provide free laundry services to dozens of Chicago families through this important outreach. In addition to making use of the laundry machines free to families, the event included children’s books and literacy resources.

LaundryCares Pays It Forward for Baltimore During Free Laundry Day

On July 28th 2016 the LaundryCares Foundation hosted a Free Laundry Day at Laundry City, located at 5200 Moravia Rd. Baltimore MD 21206. The event was a huge success in providing free laundry for the community in which Laundry City served.  Check out the media coverage from ABC 2 News WMAR. The foundation hopes to add the upcoming Free Laundry Day to the list of other successful outreach attempts accomplished since its inception. Hundreds of loads of laundry are completed during each Free Laundry Day, and the 28th was no exception. “Free laundry days are the highlight of what LaundryCares does each and every year” commented Coin Laundry Association President, Brian Wallace. “The impact a single load of laundry can make on a family isn’t lost to us, and it’s humbling to see the good it does in a community. Our goal is to continue to host free laundry days and reach more families in need across the nation.”

Not Just Your Typical Tax Day 2015

The Laundry Project and LaundryCares Foundation teamed up to offer a day of service on April 15 – the day prior to Clean 2015 in Atlanta.  For six years, The Laundry Project has hosted hundreds of “free laundry” days throughout the country in an effort to give back to local communities with a service as important as laundry. The event was a huge success in providing a free laundry day to residents in the surrounding Atlanta communities. In one day, 2100 loads of laundry was washed and dried in less than three hours.

Home Sweet Home

On June 17, 2009, thirty-six industry professionals, representing a number of manufacturers and distributors as well as some store owners, gave freely of their time, spending the day in the East New Orleans heat, helping to build a new house for Habitat for Humanity. In just that one day of hard work, the laundry industry volunteers installed all of the siding and then painted the majority of the house. “We are truly fortunate to be in an industry were competing manufacturers, competing distributors and store owners can come together and enjoy working together for a common good,” said Chris Balestracci, who was one of many volunteers that sunny day in New Orleans.
